The Radical Reconstructionist Rational for Social Education.
Stanley, William B.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v8 n4 p55-79 Win 1981
Outlines a reconstructionist rationale and focuses attention on the need for a philosophy of education to embody a theory of social criticism. It also emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary analysis of major social issues, especially in terms of their economic dimension, and attempts to define the purpose and role of social educators with regard to cultural transformation.
